The Jerusalem Question and Its Resolution: Selected Documents /
:
It is universally accepted that Jerusalem is a unique city. It stirs up strong emotions among adherents of various religions as it is the centre of three religions, and it is the subject of conflicting national aspirations of two peoples. The diverse attitudes and wishes associated with the city are expressed, inter alia , in certain documents. This collection presents the most important of these documents. This will help the reader to understand the difficulties and may assist in the search for solutions. There may be differences of opinion over historical facts and documents may be subject to differing interpretations. Convenient access to the relevant documents is a prerequisite for any attempt to understand the problem and seek solutions. The collection includes documents concerning the status of Jerusalem from the point of view of Israel's law and administration, as well as documents from the Arab world and from the international sphere. The editors have focused on official documents and in particular on those that have had a practical influence on the status of the city, or are likely to do so in the future. The collection will assist students and scholars who seek to understand the special status of Jerusalem, as well as politicians and diplomats who are responsible for ensuring its welfare and prosperity.

Childhood in the late Ottoman Empire and after /
:
This volume explores the variety of ways in which childhood was experienced, lived and remembered in the late Ottoman Empire and its successor states. The period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was a time of rapid change, and the history of childhood reflects the impact of new expectations, lived realities and national responsibilities on the youngest members of societies undergoing monumental change because of ideological, wartime and demographic shifts. Drawing on comparisons both within the Balkans, Turkey and the Arab lands and with Western Europe and beyond, the chapters investigate the many ways in which upheaval and change affected the youth. Particular attention is paid to changing conceptions of childhood, gender roles and newly dominant national imperatives. Contributors include: Elif Akşit, Laurence Brockliss, Nazan Çiçek, Alex Drace-Francis, Benjamin C. Fortna, Naoum Kaytchev, Duygu Köksal, Kathryn Libal, Nazan Maksudyan, Heidi Morrison, and Philipp Wirtz. This title, in its entirety, is available online in Open Access.

Countering the Global : Anti-Global Religion, Global Dissent and Multiple Globalisms /
:
Most great religious traditions are global in scope, but they are often used to promote nationalist and isolationist ideas. Why do politicians in Poland and Lithuania stress the strong bond between the Catholic Church and the national identities? And how are ethno-religious conflicts expressed in Norway? In this book, you will find new data and new insights, providing explanations for these and other questions. Fascinating case studies from Europe and China are the basis for analyses on how global interconnectedness sparks both unity and conflict within religious spheres, demonstrating the interplay of local and global influences as well as the dynamics of glocalization. Contributors are: Milda Ališauskienė, Peter B. Andersen, Eileen Barker, Peter Beyer, Irena Borowik, Lisbet Christoffersen, Inger Furseth, Peter Gundelach, Annika Hvithamar, Massimo Introvigne, Hans Raun Iversen, Brian Arly Jacobsen, Niels Kærgaard, Pål Repstad, and Morten Warmind.

Bridging the Gulf : Maritime Cultural Heritage of the Western Indian Ocean /
:
The volume presents papers by archaeologists, anthropologists, historians and heritage specialists and highlights the multi-layered meaning of maritime cultural landscapes. The authors shift the emphasis from understanding heritage in its local context to discussing it across the waters of the Arabian Sea. The relationship between the sea and the land underlines the centrality of the coast; the communities who inhabited the space between the ocean and the hinterland; their histories and attempts at constructing their cultural environment. An important component of this cultural landscape is monumental architecture and archaeological sites, as also their inter-linkage with travelling groups who moved both across the sea, as well as on routes into the interior. A common concern that all papers share is with definitions of maritime heritage; different articulations of social and political power; and regional and local nautical traditions. One of the objectives of this volume is to underscore the important role of World Heritage, especially sites and monuments located along the coasts that have already been identified as national treasures by individual Nation States. The objective is to bring these coastal monuments and structures into dialogue with those located across the Ocean for a holistic understanding of maritime cultural heritage of the western Indian Ocean. It is suggested that this dialogue across the seas, would help in the protection and preservation of a maritime heritage known for its 'outstanding universal value'.

Costumes of Egypt : The Lost legacies.
:
Costumes of Egypt: The Lost legacies, sums up decades of Shahira Mehrez's research: it is a four-volume work recording and tracing the origin of hitherto undocumented ways of dressing and jewelry of Egyptian women, most of which have today become obsolete. The costumes surveyed in this first volume establish the fact that irrespective of distant geographic locations, beyond religious and ethnic diversity, and throughout thousands of years of history and successive civilizations, Nubians, Nile Valley peasants, Bedouins and oasis dwellers, both Christian and Muslim, were heirs to the same legacy. Old and new emblems were melted into one tradition, defining a multifaceted but harmonious Egyptian identity.This tradition provides undeniable and tangible proof of the unity of the country and bears witness to the fact that throughout history these various communities were the different parts of a multicultural and pluralistic nation.
Costumes of Egypt, the lost legacies résume des décennies de recherche par Shahira Mehrez : il s'agit d'un ouvrage en quatre volumes qui recense et retrace l'origine de modes vestimentaires et de bijoux égyptiens jusqu'ici non documentés, dont la plupart sont aujourd'hui tombés en désuétude. Les costumes étudiés dans ce premier volume établissent qu'au-delà des situations géographiques éloignées, au-delà des diversités religieuses et ethniques, à travers des milliers d'années d'histoire et de civilisations successives, Nubiens, paysans de la Vallée du Nil, bédouins et habitants des oasis, à la fois chrétiens et musulmans, ont été les héritiers d'un même patrimoine. Anciens et nouveaux emblèmes se sont fondus dans une même tradition, définissant une identité égyptienne multiforme mais harmonieuse.Ils constituent une preuve indéniable et tangible de l'unité du pays et témoignent du fait que, tout au long de leur histoire, ces différentes communautés ont constitué les différentes facettes d'une nation multiculturelle et pluraliste.
